Health Food = Rabbit Food
Normally this is exactly the kind of stereotype I try to dispel on my blog. But today, I’m embracing it full-force:
A carrot cake milkshake!
A double carrot cake milkshake, as I topped it with my 5-Minute Single Serving Carrot Cake in a Mug recipe. Two carrot cakes are better than one.
Carrot Cake Milkshake
- 1 extremely-ripe, large banana (frozen)
- 2/3 cup milk of choice (For a rich, “ice cream”-like shake, use canned coconut milk. Also, use more or less, depending on desired thickness.)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- heaping 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 small carrot (50g or so)
- scant 1/16 tsp salt (to bring out sweetness)
- Optional: 1 tbsp Homemade Coconut Butter
Steam your carrot first, then blend all of the ingredients together in your blender, food processor, or even a Magic Bullet. (Note: This still tastes delicious if you just use almond milk as opposed to canned coconut milk. But it’s more of a carrot cake smoothie than a true milkshake.) I crumbled a healthy carrot cake in a mug on top.
Get your bunny friends together and eat rabbit food. Or don’t tell your bunny friends, and keep the rabbit food for yourself! ‘Cause if you’re anything like me, you have a lot of bunny friends. As a child, I collected rabbits, so I have about a million stuffed animals, figurines, and other such bunny toys. If I invited all of them to my carrot-cake parties, the non-bunny of the group (me) would never get a bite.

I had the worlds largest beanie baby and stuffed animal collection and they all had to sleep with ne at night so sometimes they would wind up on the bed and I would sleep not the floor so that they would all be comfy ahaha the good old days!!
Awww lol you needed those beanie baby sleeping bags they invented! Then they could all sleep comfortably on the floor! But I can’t judge your need to have them all on the bed… I had bunk beds and my stuffed animals got their own bed!
I. Love. Carrot Cake. I’m definitely having this for lunch today.
And I collected bears from all around the globe. My dad would bring me one home everytime he went anywhere. And they collected dust on my wicker shelf in my bedroom. I was kind of a messy child…
haha cute post Katie!! this looks so delicious! ahhh I want carrot cake
What do you use for the whipped topping? I’m sure there is an entry somewhere on the blog, but I can’t find it! Is it something you make or is it a purchased product?
Hey Krystle! In the photo, it’s actually just soyatoo. But my favorite vegan whipped cream sub is this: https://lett-trim.today/2010/11/18/whipped-creams-healthy-makeover/%3C/a%3E%3Cbr /> (It has a texture more like homemade whipped cream.)
Thanks! I’m reading all about the whipped cream right now 🙂 I am a new vegan(ish) eater. I finally started an elimination diet and it seems that dairy and meat make me feel awful, I’ve been a reader of your blog for a few months, but am taking extra interest in all of the recipe’s now that my diet has changed. I love everything, keep up the good work!
I *HAVE* to try this. Seriously, you had me at Carrot Cake…but carrot cake milkshake….in a bowl?! I think I will have this on Easter & top it with a Peep or two 😀
Yummy!! Good way to get in some veggies too 😉
I use to collect beanie babies haha I still love them 😀
Please come over and make this for me? Kthnx.
Mmmm…..I love carrot anything! I think I may be part-rabbit.
As for collecting, let’s see: I collected erasers, crazy earrings, cats (real and fake!), fairies, and hmmm….oh, Barbies, Cabbage Patch Kids, porcelain dolls, everything.
I collected bells! And beanie babies of course.
As I type this, I’m enjoying a green smoothie made with spinach, frozen bananas, carrots, cinnamon and ginger. Not as decadent as your creation, but similar. Cheers!
